BALSAM
Boosting Accuracy of Laser Additive Manufacturing
About
BALSAM project addresses the problem of surface quality and geometric accuracy in Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM). This project is carried out at the University of Luxembourg and Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship under the supervision of Prof. Peter Plapper. BALSAM project has the scope to strengthen cross-border cooperation in the field of R&D and promote excellent research for LAM and provide room for further studies at the fundamental and applied levels.
Objectives
The overall objective of the BALSAM project is to provide methods, models and tools of sensing and control design suitable for a LAM system
Monitoring System
Developing a monitoring system for collecting experimental data and detecting typical faults in the LAM process
Control System
Designing a novel control system for improving surface quality and geometric accuracy in LAM
Prototype Implementation
A prototype implementation to perform experiments and measurements to validate the controller performance during real-time operations.
